Tonight on "Bands Reunited" in a behind the scenes show, they showed footage of how they failed to get Moz to participate in a Smiths reunion. They attempted to approach him during the Apollo Theater gig. Pretty twisted. They showed that guy Ameer trying to ambush Moz on his way to the theater. They waited five hours and Steven just blitzed by them into the side door. They made no real attempt to approach him assertively and acted surprised that he wouldn't just stop in his tracks and eagerly be interviewed. They have managed to reunite some really decent bands from the 1980's, but they should have done their homework better for this attempt. I'm sure they'll replay this "behind the scenes" show a few times. Only current Morrissey footage shows him going in the side door of the Apollo. They also use some footage from Smiths Videos. ---

if vh1 rounded up andy and mike first, they would have surely conducted proper sit-down interviews. i'm sure johnny might have humored them as well. but going after morrissey first and then just giving up that fast was pointless.

VH1 did NOT try to reunite the Smiths Score 3; (Score:0)
All we see is Moz showing up for the show going the the back door, whilst the VH1 crew stand across the street going "Moz, Moz!"
Hardly counts as an attempt. There was no attempts to talk to Mike or Andy or Johnny. This was pathetic.
There is no way, shape or form, that Im implying that they would have a chance in hell, but if I had to waste many of my 30 minutes of life watching them run all over the world for groups like, New Kids, Frankie Goes to Hollywood, et al then dont try to scavenge ratings by implying they made "attempts" to reunite the Smiths.
Rubbish! Log Vh1 as "Flamebait"

the first one was "This Charming Man" - that wasn't the promo video, was it?
the second one, with no sound, was from some live TV appearance. was it TOTP or something else?

lamest attempt ever... (Score:1)
they even had the audacity to eat hamburgers while they waited. had they actually been able to talk to morrissey, he would've seen the wrappers and told them to sod off. and rightfully so!

The "attempt" was just so arrogant! (Score:0)
It is offensive for the producers of the show to even try to bring The Smiths down to the level of the fucking Information Society or Vixen.
